Newspapers
We have many popular and local newspapers such as the Sun Journal, Portland Press Herald, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. With the exception of the Sun Journal, all newspapers are kept for three months before being discarded.
Sun Journal
We do not discard the Sun Journal, as we are the only source for the print edition of this newspaper. Paper copies are kept until we receive the microfilm version. Complete coverage of the Sun Journal, Lewiston Evening Journal, and Lewiston Sun is available on microfilm from the foundation of the newspaper. For more information, please see our Lewiston History page.
Magazines
We have about 200 magazines, including two years of back issues for each. Back issues for a few, such as Time and National Geographic are kept indefinitely.
